license is correct in yum-utils-1.1.16-13; for reasons that I have not
identified yet, latest version that my yum info sees is still 1.1.14
[commands below performed after yum clean all):
[wolfy at wolfy2 tmp]$ yum info yum-basearchonly --enablerepo=testing
Loaded plugins: allowdowngrade, downloadonly, fastestmirror, merge-conf
Available Packages
Name : yum-basearchonly
Arch : noarch
Version : 1.1.14
Release : 0_beta_15_2.el5.centos
Size : 10 k
Repo : testing
Summary : Yum plugin to let Yum install only basearch packages.
URL : http://linux.duke.edu/yum/download/yum-utils/
License : GPL
Description: this plugin makes Yum only install basearch packages on
multiarch systems. If you type 'yum install
: foo' on a x68_64 system, only 'foo-x.y.x86_46.rpm' is
installed. If you want to install the
: foo-x.y.i386.rpm, you have to type 'yum install foo.i386'.
The plugin only works with 'yum
: install'.
